Self-service terminal

A portable scan-assistance device is provided. A mobile device operated by a customer establishes a connection to the scan-assistance device at the start of a shopping trip by tapping the mobile device on the scan-assistance device or by the mobile device scanning a code affixed to the scan-assistance device. A status light on the scan-assistance device illuminates a designated color (such as blue) upon successful connection. A camera/image sensor/barcode reader of the scan-assistance device captures an item code of an item placed in front of the camera and forwards the item code to a mobile shopping application on the user mobile device during the customer's shopping trip. When an item code is successfully captured the status light of the scan-assistance device illuminates a second color (such as green), otherwise the status light of the scan-assistance device illuminates a third color (such as red).

Portable scan-assistance device

Various embodiments herein include at least one of devices, systems, methods, and software of communication and signaling devices. One device embodiment includes a visual signaling output, at least one radio transceiver, and a network interface device. This device further includes a processor and a memory device storing instructions executable by the processor to cause the device to perform data processing activities that may include receiving an identifier via the at least one radio transceiver, outputting a work in progress indicator from the visual signaling output, and transmitting the received identifier via the network interface device to a network service. These data processing activities further include receiving a payment success indicator via the network interface device indicating whether a payment was successfully processed with regard to the received identifier. The data processing activities may then output an indication of the received payment success indicator from the visual signaling output.

Communication and signaling devices and methods

A nestable beverage crate includes a base, side walls and end walls. Each side wall includes a plurality of side columns connecting a side upper band to the base. Each end wall includes a plurality of end columns connected an end upper band to the base. The side upper band and the end upper bands each have a plurality of peaks and valleys and are asymmetric, such that adjacent crates will have peaks aligned with valleys and vice-versa. For purposes of preventing shingling, the effective vertical width of the side upper bands and the end upper bands of these two adjacent side walls is the full distance between the upper edge of the peak and the lower edge of the valley, but the nesting height of the crate is only the vertical width of the upper bands.

Nestable bottle crate

A consumer is identified at a transaction terminal. A natural-language voice chatbot is initiated for the transaction. The chatbot is configured with store information for a store associated with the terminal and, optionally, with preferences registered to the consumer. A natural language voice dialogue using, at least the store information, is initiated between the chatbot and the consumer while the consumer is at the terminal and during the transaction. The consumer may order store items from the store and pay for the items through the dialogue. In an embodiment, the items ordered are delivered to the terminal where the consumer is located.

Voice-based transaction terminal ordering

A beverage crate includes a base having opposed end edges and opposed side edges. A pair of end walls extending upward from the end edges of the base. A pair of side walls extend upward from the side edges of the base. Each of the side walls includes an upper band portion connected to the base by inwardly-offset columns. The upper band portions each include at least one upper peak protruding upwardly and at least one complementary recess aligned below the at least one upper peak. The upper band portions each include at least one lower peak protruding downwardly and at least one complementary recess aligned above the at least one lower peak.
